As a rare drinker the closest I’ve had to the Campari red is probably a squirt of a strawberry-fragrance dishwash liquid that landed on my lip while trying to drown a mosquito on the windowsill. Milla Jovovich was the obvious bait for me on this quick trip to Milan, as I joined Campari celebrate their Campari 2012 Calendar named It’s the End of the World, Babyafter the popular belief that the world will end on the 21st of December 2012. Now, my personal opinion on that date is that it’s a load of rabbitpoop – you may quote me on the 22nd December – but if that gets Milla into 13 haute-couture dresses and throw a party then I’ll keep quiet for now. And how can I ever say no to Milan… I accidentally discovered marocchino (a miniature cappuccino with a cube of chocolate dunk for the sweetest last swig) and that was simply the best cure-in-a-cup for my travel exhaustion.

I know this is a bit of a silly question, but im just curious to know if you did that fruit plate or if your hotel gave it to you like that?
Ha, glad you had fun in Milan & I totally agree with you on the 2012 thing, jeez people. x

Love this post. The sort of faded old-school feel to the shots is gorgeous. A few things I adore include: your rolled up jeans and silver bow heels (you’re obsessed), the smiling breakfast, shot of the shoes with the face peering into the glass (what girl hasn’t been that person?! nose pressed against the glass… drooling) and Milla Jovovich is a babe. That’s all. xx

Love the way you’ve itemised the outfit in the first picture, always in awe of your technical know how! Tempted to buy that H&M sweater in a brighter colour now, I have already been living in the green. Glad you had fun and hope Milan gets it act together soon!

Stunning pictures, Shini! My only Campari experience was when I offered to buy a friend at a drink and he asked for a Campari and grapefruit juice. It was £5.50!! And this wasn’t a special occasion, just a quick drink. I was too polite to say ‘buy it yourself, you cheeky sod’. It was tasty though.

I started reading your blog about 4 months ago when I moved to Milan from the States. I really need fashion help. This is your second trip here since I’ve been here. I hope that by your third I have something decent to wear so I can then invite you for a thank-you caffe. Grazie Mille e a presto….

I’m agreeing wholeheartedly with your view of the 2012 crazyness. I’ve read a book about it, that was advocating this end of world thing just for kicks and giggles and gee what load of crap.
Oh yes, the mayan calender ends there? Not true, they had longer lasting calenders and by the way has the author never thought about the fact that they had better things to do with life than to calculate calenders more then 1000 years ahead?!!!
So the sun isn’t as active as “normally”? It’s 400 years of monitoring the sunspots vs. 5 Billion years of the sun, that’s a blink for the sun and there’s no reason to get all excited and calling for the end of the world.
Total ballocks, if you ask me.

I love when your coming back from the fashion week, because you will spoiled us, your reader with a lots of beautiful pictures. When i see those pictures i feel like i was there together with you enjoying the milan fashion week,lol.

Dear Shini
you allways have great little details on your blog and this “hover the picture and find out what I am wearing” is amazing!

could you give me a tip on how to do that. i love it. I am rebuilding my blog, from scratch (G+ killed the old one) so i would like to implement that lovely little trick.

You have always been a great read and an amazing stylist, I feel so guilty for not commenting more. And, it seems I`m on a roll so I will go all the way and say that I really love comming here, because your photos are a real feast for the eyes :)

[…] Calendar protagonists include Kate Hudson, Eva Mendez, Uma Thurma. It’s been a while since my first Campari celebration with Mila Jokovich in 2010; I was a very Italian ‘red’ affair then, and given the Saldana-grade gumption and […]
